Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The galaxies in the universe are not distributed uniformly or randomly, and not all are arranged in spiral arms. Rather, they are often found in groups, clusters, and superclusters, forming a hierarchical structure of cosmic web. This distribution is thought to result from the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe, which acts as a gravitational scaffold for galaxy formation and evolution.
